Chapter 341: Go to Yong'an again
Li Xin doesn't pay much attention to Zhang Ping, in his eyes, this is just a villain who happened to have a chance! Zhi Dacai doesn't say anything, and he doesn't talk about morality, he doesn't have a good impression of this kind of person at all. Zhang Ping's territory is not small, and the population is also quite large. If he can manage it well, he may be able to become an important force in the future, and maybe he will be able to dominate the world!
But he was too visionless, in order to fight for a Pingyang County, in order to deal with the Huashan Army, he drained the people and forcibly recruited many people into the army. There is a question mark over how much combat effectiveness such an army has.
This is why Li Xin only has more than 10,000 people in his hands, but he does not put the other party in his eyes. After all, the 10,000 troops in his hands have been trained for a long time, and more than half of them are veterans.
Even if he is a new soldier, he has been a garrison from all over the country before, and at least he has seen the blood suppression of bandits, and he can be regarded as a person who has been on the battlefield. From this point of view, the quality and combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides are completely different from the same level.
"Send someone to send my military order to Shao Zisong, and let him guard the original capital county! As long as he doesn't let the enemy cross the river, as for how to fight here, he doesn't have to worry about it for the time being! After a deep sigh, Li Xin said.
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange someone to do it immediately!" Tu Qi hurriedly put pen and ink and said.
The group galloped quickly and finally arrived in Xiayang County that night! However, they will not stay here for long, just rest here for one night, and then go to Yong'an County early the next morning with some of the soldiers and horses who arrived first.
In this case, Liu Xiaohai can be replaced first and let him rush to Gaodu County to prepare.
"Send someone to order all the armies, speed up, and before the night after tomorrow, you must rush to Yong'an County!" After entering the city, Li Xin issued another military order, but this military order was aimed at most of the generals.
Early the next morning, Li Xin set out with an army of 2,000 troops, crossed the Yellow River, and quickly went north along the Fenshui, and finally arrived outside Yong'an County that night. At this time, Zhang Ping's army had already arrived at the city first.
Therefore, after entering the city, Li Xin didn't have time to rest, so he went directly to the city to inspect the situation.
The last time he had been to this place, it was still the valley, it was still the wall, but since the last war, the wall here has been repaired. Now that everything is in place, all we have to do is wait for the enemy to come and attack it.
Looking down from the top of the city, you can see that the outside is brightly lit, and the camp of the other party is less than five miles away from the city, and it has been stretching along the Fenshui River to the north, looking like a fiery snake.
The last time Zhuge Xiang also brought 30,000 troops, but that time was different from now. Last time, if it wasn't for Hong Yi and them running fast, this Yongan County would have almost been taken by the other party first!
Under the circumstances at that time, whether it was the soldiers of the Huashan Army who had just arrived, or the soldiers and civilians in the city who had just returned to the city, they were all lacking in confidence and their morale was seriously low in the face of the 30,000 army. But now it's different.
One is that there is a large army on his side that is rushing to support, and on the other hand, because he has seen this kind of formation last time, and the other party has been defeated. Therefore, this is no longer able to scare the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Li Xin's arrival is also an important reason, just like the royal driver's personal expedition, it can always greatly improve morale.
"The big war shouldn't start until tomorrow! After all, this time is not like before, Zhang Ping will not do it easily in order to be sure! It's just right that the brothers below can have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's big battle! Go down and rest. Early tomorrow morning, you will rush to Gaodu County! After looking at it for a while, Li Xin said to Liu Xiaohai beside him.
"Yes, I'm going to clean it up!" Liu Xiaohai did not refuse, and retreated after a salute.
"General, do you think we should go out of the city and attack the camp tonight? The other party shouldn't know that we have arrived, and this is the right time to attack it! Deng Qiang suggested on the side.
"No, we're not here this time for a small victory. What we have to do is to keep these 30,000 enemy troops here! So, wait a little longer! When the time comes, let's strike! Li Xin shook his head and rejected this proposal.
"Yes!" Although he didn't understand what Li Xin was thinking, Deng Qiang still responded.
"Go down and rest. Tomorrow, there may not be a break! Li Xin stood at the head of the city for a while, and finally went down to the city, and said to the generals as he left.
Everything was as he expected, and early the next morning, Zhang Ping began to command the soldiers to attack. This time, there were a lot of large-scale siege equipment, and compared to Zhuge Xiang's last operation, it was obviously much more prepared.
However, it was not a good journey, and it was really difficult for them to be able to move all these things here.
Zhang Ping stood more than a mile outside the city, looking at the city in front of him from a distance, and a trace of excitement flashed on his face.
"It's finally getting started! This time, it is the beginning of my Zhang Ping's achievement of the king's business! Command, attack me immediately! After observing for a while, Zhang Ping ordered.
"Attack!" With his order, more than 2,000 soldiers of the front army immediately rushed towards the city with siege ladders and crashing wood, shields and weapons.
The city of Yong'an is not particularly large, so for a while, it seems as if there is nothing else outside the entire city except for the enemy army.
"Cheer up! Don't worry too much, let's kill one by one, just don't let them climb up! Li Xin stood on the top of the city, and on the top of the city tower behind him, a big pole fluttered in the wind. His order was soon reached the ears of every soldier in the city, and everyone was suddenly in high spirits!
Deng Qiang, Zhang Hao and other generals were not sent out to defend, but stood around Li Xin, shielding him all around. Obviously, in some conspicuous places, everyone is afraid that Zhang Ping will find someone to plot against Li Xin.
The battle was soon fought, and the battle between the two sides was not something that could be decided in a moment. Compared with Zhang Ping's side, which was a little impatient, Li Xin's side was much more stable, and Li Xin did not have other military orders except for normal defense.
Li Xin was waiting, first, waiting for the rest of the troops to arrive, and second, waiting for news from other places. Until then, he won't make any big moves.
"Li Xin is also here! Ok, good, good! It's a good time, just take this opportunity to take him down in one fell swoop! Hahahaha, Li Xin, this time I see if you are still dead! When the time comes, it's time for your head to hit the ground! Zhang Ping, who was outside the city, saw Daxu from a distance and couldn't help laughing.
"Envoy, have you forgotten to agree to the conditions of the major general?" Mr. Zhao was on the side, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but remind in a low voice.
"Hmph, I can't help him when the time comes! If Li Xin dismounts and is bound, he can spare his life, otherwise, he will die on the spot! Hearing this, Zhang Ping's face became gloomy and said coldly.
Mr. Zhao looked at his expression and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, knowing that he still remembered the last time he was defeated by Li Xin. However, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't want to say anything more.
"Give me an order, whoever occupies the city first will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan and made it a county order!" Whoever opens the city gate will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan, and the official seal will be too guarded! If anyone can take down Li Xin's head, he will be crowned a general! "The so-called enemies are very red when they meet! At this moment, Zhang Ping targeted Li Xin, and hurriedly ordered a heavy reward, in order to capture Yongan County as soon as possible.
After hearing this heavy reward, the soldiers below immediately rushed towards the city with a roar, everyone thought that they could get a benefit from it, but they didn't think about whether they had the life to get it.
Although Zhang Ping's attack was fierce, it did not achieve much in the face of the renovated county seat. As expected, Zhang Ping opted for a sleepless attack, hoping to take the county seat through his numerical advantage.
The attacks outside the city continued, but Li Xin in the city looked calm, and after arranging the defense, everyone had their own division of labor, resting when they should rest, and defending the city when they should defend the city. And from the evening onwards, other soldiers and horses continued to arrive one after another.
On the third day, the 10,000 troops mobilized from all over Guanzhong were finally fully assembled at this time. At this time, the siege of Yongan County had been going on for two days and one night, and Yongan County was still firmly in the hands of the Huashan Army.
"General, the latest news is that Zhuge Xiang has already sent troops from Huchan County, starting from the Yonghe Ferry in the east, and starting to attack the Yanshui Pass that we have mastered! If Yanshui Pass is defeated, they can directly kill the original capital county! In addition, the other part of the soldiers and horses have already begun to attack Beiqu County and the Black Dragon Pass! "Tu Qi will report the latest news at any time!
From this point of view, although the situation has not yet reached the point of being out of control, the grim atmosphere has begun to emerge.
Beiqu County is between the two mountains east of Hukou Waterfall, and if you go straight down from here to the south, you can reach Pishi County in just over a hundred miles! Pishi County, on the other hand, is the westernmost county seat of Pingyang County near the Yellow River, and if you cross the river from here, you can reach Xiayang County in Guanzhong.
The Heilong Pass is a mountain pass, located in the east of Beiqu County and southeast of Puzi County. This pass is flanked by high mountains and cliffs, but more than 40 miles to the southeast of it is where Pingyang County is located.
In the Ming Dynasty, a Black Dragon Pass was established in this place, but in fact, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there were already wars in this place. If Zhang Ping's men and horses were allowed to enter the Fenshui River Valley from here, then Yong'an County would be attacked on its back.
